Needle-free connector valves, either standalone or attached to extension sets, may have issues including difficulty to flush, flow issues, and partial or total occlusions, which could lead to therapy delay. Follow-up activates not required if product has already been used or was safely connected to the female luer of connecting device.

Updated Reprocessing Instruction For Use (rIFU): Impacted PENTAX Medical Video Upper GI Scopes (EG) and Video Colonoscopes (EC) families

Product may not perform as specified in IFU.

Early life failure of the ADUs only occurs when the hospital mains provide 480V to the system. This current voltage may lead to saturation and overheating of the coils that protect the IGBTs (insulated-gate bipolar transistor) of the ADU. The overheating may generate a peculiar burning smell that may be noticed. In some instances, this burning smell may be noticed before the ADU fails. When the ADU fails the X-ray performance of the system is reduced to Emergency Fluoroscopy. Exposure will not be possible and image quality will be reduced.

The firm has identified a potential for the backrest to become detached from the chair.

Under specific circumstances created by the user, the cobas e flow test results could be replaced by an automatic result sent to the lab LIS. This automatic result could be released and interpreted by your Laboratory Information System (LIS) as a false positive or negative result. It should be noted that the "correct" result would still be available on the instrument.

Manufacturer issued a recall due to an EO indicator color. The indicator should change from red to blue signifying sterilization. However, on one case of product, the indicators did not change
